You Need to Read: Baby Dracula

Alright Baby Dracula, we know that you are going to grow up to be hauntingly charming and will potentially terrorize the world with the mere thought of you…but right now you are a baby. And like most youngsters you may want to read some great picture books. Here are some that I am recommending just for you: 


By Lucy Ruth Cummings 
Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2021. Picture Book.

I know you are a vampire baby…and most babies like to go to the zoo. Here is a book about a vampire family that visits the zoo and all the crazy mischief that happens on that particular trip. 

By Christopher Denise 
Little, Brown and Company, 2022. Picture Book.

Toddler Dracula, I know that you prefer doing things at night. And Knight Owl is no different! He wants to be a knight and protect the kingdom at night. Now, maybe you aren’t so into protecting kingdoms…but you can always learn to like it, right? 

By Scott Rothman 
Illustrated by Pete Oswald 
Random House Children’s Books, 2020. Picture Book.

Baby Drac, you are strong. You have great strength and can often get what you want. Well, here is another story for you. The Underwear Dragon is also quite strong and he often gets what he wants; however, in this story you will learn that maybe, just maybe, being smart and kind is even more important than being strong. 

By Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey 
Norton Young Readers, 2021. Picture Book.

Here is the thing, one day Baby Dracula, you might want to leave your Transylvanian home. And when that time comes, chances are you might want to travel by boat. So here is a great story about a boat and how that boat changes lives over time. Pay attention. Maybe you will realize not only that boats are a great way to travel, but that your actions can impact all those around you. 

By David LaRochelle 
Illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka 
Candlewick Press, 2021. Informational.

Finally, Baby Dracula, this is my last book suggestion for you. It is all about learning how to apologize. Because, basically, I have a feeling that sometime you might do something that isn’t right or good…and if you don’t do something nice, you should apologize. So here is a book to help you understand how feelings are important and how you need to respect the feelings of others—and apologize if you do something wrong. 

Well, that’s it. Those are the books that I think you should read. I hope you enjoy them Baby Dracula!

Funny Farm by Mark Teague 2009

By Anonymous
There are things I liked about Mark Teague's newest book, Funny Farm , and things I didn't like. Where should I start? I'll do the "didn'ts" first. The illustrations show animals personified. Well, some of the animals are. The main characters, Edward, and his farm family relatives, all dogs, are humanized. They stand upright, do farm chores, eat at a table, wear clothes, knit (yes, with paws) and sleep in beds. Most everybody else on and around the farm, who are also animals, act like animals. They are outside, roll in mud, live in the barn, and require care from their owners. It struck me the most on the page spread where there are pigs playing in puddle in the rain and Edward, a black and white boxer, watches from inside the house. I thought "You're a dog! Go play with them!" But, alas, he can't, seeing as how he goes through his entire visit to the farm wearing a suit and red bow tie. Another picture that bothered me was the maple syrup pa...

The Girl Who Could Fly by Victoria Forester 2008

By Anonymous
J Fiction 328 pages I almost didn't finish this book. I got to Chapter 4, and was just about ready to quit (a kind of slow story about a girl, name of Piper McCloud, who discovers she can fly, parents freak out, she becomes a social outcast, yadda, yadda) but suddenly, right there in Chapter 4, the story takes a sharp turn and becomes really interesting . Piper finds herself in the company of others like her, but not "fliers", and under the care and authority of Dr. Hellion. I won't even tell you any more. Read this book. Forester does a great job of keeping you wondering who's the good guy and who's the bad? Piper is a likeable, strong, endearing character that girl readers will enjoy. But don't NOT give it to boys! The main male character is an extremely intelligent young man who is one of the ones you wonder about . . . good or bad? This is a good one, well worth your time.
